Rather than playing poker at one of the 50 high stakes poker tables there, or mastering his conservative methods of table play on any of the games offered at this brick and mortar tribal casino located near his home, John chooses to play at "a travelling (sic) circus."

Very strange logic at work there.

And just what the hell kind of "travelling circus" has legal casino games every weekend and one or two nights a week?

Ringling Brothers, with dice?

The only thing I've seen close to it might be a charity arrangement, but the one I visited had horrible, skewed odds and a killer HA on the table games.

So it comes down to this: rather than play at his nearby casino, JP chooses, or is forced, to play at a "travelling circus," whatever the hell that is.

Maybe he'll reveal the Traveling Circus' identity and location next time he's a guest on his "secret" radio call-in program.

This just proves that not all clowns wear greasepaint: some favor polyester.

Superstitions are silly, childish, irrational rituals, born out of fear of the unknown. But how much does it cost to knock on wood? 😁
Note that the same could be said for Religion. I.E. Religion is nothing more than organized superstition. 🤗

"I just wanted to thank you (and your basic blackjack book) for paying for my last trip to Las Vegas. I have been to Vegas several times, but the last time I decided I wasn't going to "just have a good time", or take an amount I could "afford to lose".. My wife thought the $14 book price was a waste of money, but when she arrived in Vegas with her sister (we flew separately, I got there earlier in the day) she changed her tune when she was presented with (6) 100 dollar bills ($200 starting bankroll) I know that's not a huge amount of money, but my subsequent sessions brought returns of approx. $100 (3 times), $80 (twice) and 2 losing sessions of around $80 each. I have recently gone to the new Caesar's riverboat casino in Indiana, where I am $39 ahead after two weeks.. (again, not a lot of money, but not a loser either). I just finished your Advanced Blackjack book, and am now in the process of perfecting your card counting system. I have perfected the BIG 4 and now consider myself more of a casino "predator" than a victim. I couldn't have done it without your books. Thank you so much. Happy Winnings!!"

“When my wife and I first looked at the John Patrick Basic Strategy, we thought he was nuts. His ideas of splitting aces and doubling ten and eleven only against the dealer's weak cards was contrary to anything we'd ever read. But we were losing. He changed completely, our way of playing Blackjack and online bingo But, his forte is Money Management. Check this guy out… he knows how to get you to cut losses.”
